The tool checks logins against a database of 4 billion leaked credentials, seeing if the password you’re typing in matches one that’s already leaked.
2 billion of those are mine, now what?
The other missing point is that many people have a throw away password they use for all those sites that insist on creating a password, Google being an offender. The best way to reduce problematic passwords is to stop requiring them for trivial reasons.

Whether you’re working or studying from home, you’re still using work devices, email addresses and systems. Getting attacked or compromised at home means other people in your organization are at risk as well. Will this be on the exam?

Microsoft says in a support document recently published that Outlook will fail to start for some users, automatically displaying an error prompting the users to repair some inbox files. Those "some users" really can't get a break, can they?

Apple’s first ARM-based Mac will be available later this year Maybe they can bring back the PowerPC brand as well?

They could have done worse than to migrate to the Power ISA.
I wonder how this will go. Having what was essentially their own CPU ISA didn't work out so well for HP. Itanium was always all about HP.
Then again, Apple's own-brand ARM CPUs are still ARM, so it's not all Mac-unique.
It's a 'bet the company'.... well, 'bet the desktop/laptop product range' move though. If successful it makes it harder to compare directly to PCs and PCs can't ever go there, no matter how good Windows-on-ARM gets. And if it goes badly, then no more Mac desktops/laptops. Which they'd hardly notice in revenue terms.

A team at Princeton University has built a hardware platform that allows different kinds of computer cores to fit together, allowing designers to customize systems in new ways. You take one from column A and one from column B

They are aware that Intel and AMD have already done this, right?

... Or am I missing something essential here? System designers have used cores of varying ISAs since the day when the term "spooling" was invented: A separate subsystem for controlling a printer while the main CPU continued on other tasks ("Syncronous Peripheral Output On Line" = spool) - that was in the 1950s. The IBM 360 series had "channel processors" controlling interactive terminals to the point of running complete text editors without disturbing the main CPU, in the mid 1960s. The first vaxen emulated PDP-11 ISA in microcode, but later models utilized the LSI-11 in the DecWriter console terminal to execute PDP-11 code segments (unplug the console, and the CPU lost its ability to run PDP-11 code).
You could view a DMA chip (or module on a complex chip) as a simple CPU with it simple ISA. Any CUDA graphics card is a CPU with a not-so-simple ISA. Any physical disk with a cache has its own processor with its own ISA. ... And so on. Haven't we done this for generations?
This "platform" may be an attempt to create a "Strangler Jeans - One Size Fits All" kind of omnibus system where all sorts of cores with all sorts of ISAs can be interconnected over a single bus. You plug in your core into the bus that's for everyone. Isn't that a cornerstone in the PowerPC architecture?
You see the same thing in the ARM architecture, except that they have realized that you need at least two or three sizes (i.e. buses) to fit all needs.
These guys probably have some new twist that I don't understand because I am not a hardware expert. But seen from the outside, it is difficult to see the revolutionary aspect.

A quarter of businesses plan to move all of their applications to the cloud within a year, according to a new report from O’Reilly Media. It's all fun and games until the storm starts

And by cloud, we mean servers, so we're right.
It was either that or: a fifth of businesses will be bankrupt in a year. What's the Venn diagram?

Unless the "cloud" is just a fancy name for a LAN, the data on the "cloud" are typically accessible from outside the company.
If it's accessible from outside the company (even with security mechanisms in place), it can leak. If you have significant IP, you don't store it where it can leak.
The OP referred to companies that are going 100% to the "cloud". I do not claim that there are no use cases where using the "cloud" makes sense; I do claim that there are no use cases where you should put sensitive IP on the "cloud".

I thought his statement was self-explanatory.
There is a constant pendulum between centralized and distributed. Mainframes, workstations, servers, desktops, the cloud. Every swing of the pendulum touted as a brilliant innovation. It is insufferably tedious techno-marketing codswallop.
